Allah. There is no god but He, the living, the self-subsisting, eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor
sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence
except as He permits? He knows what is before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass any
of His knowledge except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and He
feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme.

101. To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: how can He have a son when He
has no consort? 102. He created all things, and He has full knowledge of all things. That is Allah,
your Lord! there is no god but He, the Creator of all things: then worship Him: and He has power to
dispose of all affairs. 103. No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision: He is above all
comprehension, yet is acquainted with all things.

37. Among His signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Adore not the sun and
the moon, but adore Allah, who created them, if it is Him you wish to serve. 38. But if people are
arrogant, in the presence of your Lord are those who celebrate His praises by night and by day. And
they never grow tired. 39. And among His signs is this: you see the earth barren and desolate, but
when We send down rain to it, it is stirred to life and yields increase. Truly, He who gives life to the
earth can surely give life to those who are dead, for He has power over all things.

30. Behold, your Lord said to the angels: ‘I will create a vicegerent on earth.’ They said: ‘Will You
place there one who will make mischief there and shed blood?- whilst we celebrate your praises and
glorify your holy (name)?’ He said: ‘I know what you do not know.’ 31. And He taught Adam the
names of all things; then He placed them before the angels, and said: ‘Tell me the names of these if
you are right.’ 32. They said: ‘Glory to You, of knowledge we have none, save what You have
taught us: In truth it is You who are perfect in knowledge and wisdom.’ 33. He said: ‘Adam! Tell
them their names.’ When he had told them, Allah said: ‘Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of
heaven and earth, and I know what you reveal and what you conceal?’ 34. And behold, We said to
the angels: ‘Bow down to Adam’. And they bowed down. Not so Iblis: he refused and was haughty:
he was of those who reject faith. 35. We said: ‘Adam! You and your wife dwell in the Garden; and
eat of the bountiful things in it as You wish. But do not approach this tree, or you will run into harm
and transgression.’ 36. Then Satan made them slip from there, and got them out of what they had
been in. We said: ‘Go down, with enmity between yourselves. On earth will be your dwelling-place
and your means of livelihood, for a time.’ 37. Then Adam learnt from his Lord words of inspiration,
and his Lord turned towards him; for He is often-returning, most merciful.

(6. 75-79) 75. So also did We show Abraham the power and the laws of the heavens and the earth, so that he
might have certainty. 76. When the night covered him over, he saw a star: He said: ‘This is my
Lord.’ But when it set, he said: ‘I do not love things that set.’ 77. When he saw the moon rising in
splendour, he said: ‘This is my Lord.’ But when the moon set, he said: ‘Unless my Lord guides me, I
will surely be among those who go astray.’ 78. When he saw the sun rising in splendour, he said:
‘This is my Lord; this is the greatest.’ But when the sun set, he said: ‘O my people! I am indeed free
from your giving partners to Allah.’ 79. ‘For me, I have set my face firmly and truly towards Him who
created the heavens and the earth, and never shall I give partners to Allah.’

Then will Allah say: ‘Jesus son of Mary! Recount my favour to you and to your mother. Behold! I
strengthened you with the holy spirit, so that you spoke to the people in childhood and in maturity.
Behold! I taught you the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel. And behold! You make out of
clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by my leave, and you breathe into it and it becomes a bird by my
leave, and you heal those born blind, and the lepers, by my leave. And behold! You bring forth the
dead by my leave. And behold! I restrained the Children of Israel from you when you showed them
the clear signs, and the unbelievers among them said: ‘This is nothing but evident magic.’

you, nor is he displeased. 4. And truly the Hereafter will be better for you than the present. 5. And
soon your Lord will give you so that you will be pleased. 6. Did He not find you an orphan and give
you shelter? 7. And He found you wandering, and He gave you guidance. 8. And He found you in
need, and made you independent. 9. Therefore, do not treat the orphan with harshness, 10. Nor
drive the beggar away; 11. But tell about the bounty of your Lord!

Every person’s every joint must perform a charity every day the sun comes up: to act justly between
two people is a charity; to help a man with his mount, lifting him onto it or hoisting up his belongings
onto it is a charity; every step you take to prayers is a charity; and removing a harmful thing from the
road is a charity.

ISLAMIYAT 2058 O LEVEL 2009
COMPARING THE NEW SYLLABUS WITH THE OLD
This revision of the syllabus has made very few real changes to its contents. One or two additions
have been made, largely in response to requests from teachers, and new passages from the Qur’an
and Hadith set for special study have been chosen. But apart from this, the contents of the syllabus
remain more or less unaltered.
The most noticeable changes occur in the way the material has been rearranged, and in the way in
which the syllabus is assessed.
Rearrangement of the material:
Paper 2058/1
1.
The study of the Qur’an is made a primary requirement. Candidates are asked to study
three of its major themes through representative passages, and should be prepared in the
examination to give brief answers about the major themes they detect in any two of three set
passages and also about the particular way in which these passages may express these themes.
In the examination paper the Question will ask candidates to describe the main theme(s) of
each passage they have chosen, and also to explain how the passage presents the theme in a
distinctive way. Thus, for example, if candidates choose passage 5, Sura 112, they may identify its
main theme as divine unity, tawhid, and write about that in answer to part (a), and they might go on
in part (b) to explain how this passage portrays tawhid by focusing on the dissimilarity between God
and all other beings (unlike e.g. passage 1, Sura 2.255, which focuses on tawhid by showing how
much greater and more perfect God is than other beings). Or they may choose passage 14, Sura
93, and in part (a) describe its main theme as God’s support for his messengers, then in part (b)
explain how his support is here expressed in the ways he was alongside the Prophet Muhammad
(unlike e.g. passage 13, Sura 5.110, which focuses on His support for Jesus by teaching him and
giving him miracles).
Considering the marks allocated for answers, candidates should recognise the importance
of writing concisely in their answers to this question.
2.
Candidates should also study the history of the text of the Qur’an up to its final compilation
under the Caliph ‘Uthman, its main themes as these are represented in the passages listed in
Appendix 1 and similar passages on the same themes that candidates might find elsewhere in the
Qur’an, its importance as a source of thinking and action, and also its use in Islamic legal thinking.
There is no longer any specific section in the syllabus on legal thinking, and the material has been
redistributed under study of the Qur’an and Hadith.
3.
The study of the life and significance of the Prophet remains largely unchanged, though the
part of the section on the importance of his example in personal and also communal relationships
has been extended to take in issues of morality, which used to be tested separately in the former
Paper 2058/2 Q.3.
4.
The section on the first Muslim community remains unchanged, though the study of the lives
of the men who later became the four Rightly-Guided Caliphs is restricted here to their activities
during the Prophet’s lifetime.
In the examination, three Questions will be set on the Prophet and first Muslim community. In some
years there may be two Questions on the Prophet and one on the first community, in other years
one on the Prophet and two on the first community. Candidates should choose any two of these
questions to answer.
17
ISLAMIYAT 2058 O LEVEL 2009
Paper 2058/2
1.
The study of the Prophet’s Hadiths has been made more prominent. Candidates are asked
to study twenty Hadiths selected from the Sahih collections of al-Bukhari and Muslim, and in the
examination they are asked to choose two from four set Hadiths. They should be prepared to write
briefly about what each teaches about Muslim belief and about individual conduct or communal life.
In the examination paper the Question will ask candidates to describe the main teachings
about belief in each Hadith they have chosen, and also to explain how Muslims can put these
teachings into practice in their lives. They are encouraged to give examples from their own or other
Muslims’ experience in their answers.
Again, candidates should recognise the importance of writing concisely in their answers to
this question.
2.
Candidates should also study the history of compilation of the Hadith collections through the
early centuries of Islam, and should be prepared to explain the importance and use of the Hadiths in
Islamic legal thinking.
3.
There is a separate section on the period of the rule of the four Rightly-Guided Caliphs.
Candidates should study the development of the community in this period, the expansion of Islam,
and internal tensions within the community, and also the importance of the four Caliphs as models of
leadership for today. This latter aspect incorporates issues of communal morality and ethics which
used to be tested separately in the former Paper 2058/2 Q.3.
4.
The Articles of Faith and Pillars of Islam have been brought into one section. They remain
essentially unchanged, except for the addition of Jihad. Candidates should study the teachings of
the Qur’an and the Prophet on this important aspect of belief, and the various ways in which it was
understood and interpreted among the first Muslims.
In the examination, three Questions will be set on the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, Articles of Faith and
Pillars of Islam. In some years there may be two Questions on the Caliphs and one on the Articles
and Pillars, in other years one on the Caliphs and two on the Articles and Pillars. Candidates should
choose any two of these questions to answer.
Assessment
As before, the syllabus is assessed in two examination papers. But they are now both 1¼
hours long, and they carry equal marks. Five questions are set in each, and candidates are required
to attempt Questions 1 and 2, and any two from the remaining three. In each paper Question 1
requires relatively short answers for a maximum of 8 marks, and the other three Questions require
essay length answers for a maximum of 14 marks each.
The form of assessment has been changed from a points system, in which 1 mark was
awarded for each relevant point made in an answer, to a levels system, in which the candidate’s
overall response to the part of the question being answered is marked according to a series of levels
to reflect its completeness and quality. The grids containing the levels of response for each part
question and the criteria that determine these levels and the accompanying marks are shown at the
beginning of this syllabus.
This change means that examiners will now be assessing descriptive answers on the
comprehensiveness, relevance and accuracy of the facts they contain rather than on the separate
points they include, and will be assessing evaluative answers according to the depth of
understanding that is demonstrated, and ability to provide insights about putting key teachings of
Islam into practice.
